Tutorial: Pre Heresy Terminator Alternative Parts - 40K Terra

Perturabo · 02-11-2008

There are tutorials covering the basics of making all the parts of a Pre Heresy terminator but each one only covers the making of one style of part. Using the Techniques covered in those tutorials and a few different parts you can easily create a bit of variety in your models

Helms

This one is a normal Marine helm filed down quite drastically so it fits flush into the head recess-this is based on the old "Exo Armour" Terminator Models and the artwork in the Original Space Hulk Rule Books

This one uses a Chaos Aspiring Champion helm With the horns etc removed. Extra banding is used around the Head recess. Again this is based on the early "Exo Armour" models

These two are exactly the same as the one in the Helm Tutorial but one has no banding and the other has extra banding-just variations on the same theme

Arms

Instead of building up the under armour from Plasticard this "quick" variation uses a Terminator shoulderpad guled the other way round to create the lower level, the spacer and top level are made as in the tutorial. A band of Plasticard is put round the edge of the pad to add a little detail and cover the "cut outs" that are there.

As above but with extra banding and leather tassles made from thin strips of plasticard glued to the underside of the shoulderpad

The alternate head bits seem especially useful.. I rather like the homage paid to Space Hulk and the like with the cut down marine head.. My friends dad still has one of those models painted in Blood Angels colors.. I'd kill for that one!

Brother Warchild · 02-11-2008

This is a awesome tut bro thanks alot.

TerminatorinHell · 02-12-2008

wow how do you make the helmet collar rings in such a nice curve?

Lord Commander Erus · 02-12-2008

The .5 card is fairly thin and pliable, as he said, just roll it over a paint brush handle... If that won't work gently heat a metal rod like an xacto handle, let it air cool for a moment then use it to shape the PC.

hmm.... fire, metal, and plastic.... i see visits to the burn ward in my future

Perturabo · 02-13-2008

0.5mm Plasticard is thin enough that if you roll it round the handel of a paintbrush it will get a nice natural cureve with no creases-I would only ecomend the heated rod technique for thicker stuff and more experienced modeler (less chance of it melting/sticking/discolouring/blistering/giving of fumes etc)

Here's a link to another way of doing it, should plasticard be scarce for you.

For those of us in the U.S.A., .5mm plasticard is .020" styrene sheet, available from Evergreen and Plastruct, at your local hobby shop.
